The Mazda MX-5, otherwise known as Mazda Miata, is a sports car built by Mazda in Japan since 1989. It revived the roadster segment of sports cars in the motor car industry. Since its introduction, other companies also started developing roadsters to their vehicle line-ups.
There have been three generations of the MX-5, each having its own share of major stylistic and mechanical upgrades. The first generation, designated NA, which was known for its distinctive pop-up headlights, sold over 400,000 units. It was produced from 1989 to 1993 with a 1.6-liter straight-4 engine, and 1.8-liter engine (1994 to 1997). The second generation (NB) was introduced in 1998 with a slight increase in engine power. It had fixed headlights and a glass rear window. The third generation (NC) was introduced in 2005 with a 2.0 engine and could be recognized by the fender bulges over the wheel wells.
The Mazda Miata is basically a descendant of the small British roadsters. It has minimal necessary weight and mechanical complexity. It is designed with a traditional front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, and four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension. It has a longitudinally-mounted four-cylinder engine coupled to a manual transmission; an automatic transmission is a cost option.
A Mazda Miata exudes unsurpassed performance on the road because of its quality Mazda Miata parts. Mazda engineers and designers constantly make sure that these
Mazda Miata parts meet the highest of standards. These include parts like radiator, fuel system parts, A/C condenser, oxygen sensor, water pump, oil filter, and others. Thus proper maintenance of every Mazda Miata part is a must to ensure a long-lasting Miata performance. When replacement is needed because of damage or wearing out, it is important to remember that only quality replacement Mazda Miata parts can deliver the expected performance. When problems occur, it is best to contact a a professional immediately to avoid complications.
